Romancing the West Autumn Dinner Show at Cougar Mountain Ranch

The time traveling documentary concert Romancing the West comes to the Carriage House at Cougar Mountain Ranch for an Autumn dinner show, Friday October 25th, at 6:00 pm, the first show in the 2024 annual tour. In April of 2013, singer/songwriter Christina Lynn Martin and Cowboy Poet and Balladeer Butch Martin co-produced Romancing the West and set out to tell the human story of over 250 years of the people of the American West joined by many renowned artists including classical rock performer Martin Gerschwitz of Iron Butterly who has performed with the show ever since. The show, now in its 11th year, features the music of every era from the Old West to jazz, big band, and Butch, Christina, and Martin performing the original music and poetry in the show.

Romancing the West takes the audience on an epic journey through the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the people of the West and celebrates their diverse cultures, lives, and legacies. The story is told in historic photographs, rare film, video, live poetry, and original music written by Christina, songs about the West including “City of Roses” (Portland), “Columbia” (Columbia River), “Oh Oregon” written for the 150th birthday of Oregon, “Sunset Over Jacksonville” and “California”. Butch recites master poems like “The Ballad of William Sycamore” and the oldest known Cowboy poem “Lasca”. The show includes a moving tribute to veterans, a majestic musical tribute to National Parks and hometown America.

Gerschwitz, who resides in Germany, returns every spring and fall and lends his rich vocals and masterful piano playing, which has filled stadiums around the world, and brings to life many eras in the show, including the turbulent 1960s when Martin performs a prelude of Johan Sebastian Bach as the intro to Iron Butterfly’s “En Da Gadda Da Vida”.

Chef James Daw will prepare Tri-Tip and Chicken Dinner with Chocolate Cake for Dessert.

The Martins’ Mission continues to be “to foster love and respect for our fellow man and the love of this land by telling the sometimes painful story of Western Expansionism and celebrating the diverse cultures whose stories continue to inform and inspire our Nation and our world.” The couple make their home in a log cabin in Applegate Valley at Cougar Mountain Ranch surrounded by kids and grandkids, where they also record their weekly radio show Whittler’s Corner and its history radio show within a show “Time Travels through the American West”, airing throughout Oregon and Wyoming.

Romancing the West®

The critically acclaimed “Romancing the West®” time traveling documentary concert comes to The Gallery at Twin Lakes for a special family evening show on Friday, July 3rd, 7:30 pm.

Romancing the West® has played to standing ovations in theaters throughout the West. History style documentary meets live concert performance in this unique and epic experience, revisiting 24 decades of history in two riveting music-filled hours. All Star Line-up brings to life 240 years of the American West decade by decade in the music of every era, from Native rattles to ragtime to rock. With live music, rare film, historic photos, and video, “Romancing the West®” brings to life decades of social and political change, exploring both the tragic and the triumphant episodes of history to celebrate the pioneering human spirit and diverse legacy of the American West. From tribes of the Northern Plateau and Russian ships exploring the Western Coast, and the Spanish building of the Mission Chain to Western boomtowns, the Trail of Tears through The Great Depression and World War ll, the prosperous post War era, the turbulent 1960’s, and the political polarization of the turn of the Century to the present, audiences experience the real stories of the people of the Great West told in narration, imagery and the musical style of their times.

Award winning recording artists, including Martin Gerschwitz of Iron Butterfly, Sons of the Oregon Trail (Cowboy Poet Butch Martin and fellow Balladeer Skip Bessonette), Christina Lynn Martin, singer/songwriter John Elliott, The Blue Delilahs, and Chuck Girard of Lovesong, perform an original score and classic favorites for a multi-genre and multi-generational experience.
